[Deploying Sakai] Proxying through Apache

[Kevin P. Foote]

Paul - 

Yea this is what I do .. :-) 

You basically will be running tomcat on local box and be connecting to
it via AJP .. I'm using both mod_jk and or mod_proxy (different
builds/systems) to do this. 

Here is the wiki space that describes this and what to do.. 

"Configuring Apache to proxy connections to tomcat"

http://bugs.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/DOC/Sakai+Admin+Guide+-+Advanced+Tomcat++(and+Apache)+Configuration


I have tomcat startup and listen on 127.0.0.1 port 8109 and apache
redirects all requests to / to 127.0.0.1:8109 .. doing things this way
you can have apache handle ssl functions, (alot cleaner).

Hope that helps a bit..

thanks
